Administrative data

Endpoint:
short-term toxicity to fish
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Study conducted to basic scientific principles, although only useful as supporting information as the result is an outlier compared to the weight of evidence from other results.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Sublethal observations / clinical signs:

Manganese concentrations were close to nominal values and were constant throughout the experiment. The LC50 in hard water (49.9mg Mn/L) is considerably higher than that for brown trout in much softer water (3.8 mg Mn/l) (Davies and Brinkrnan 1994). Therefore the difference between LC50s is due primarily to differences in water quality characteristics.
